Breden³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 96| D

2/1

Remains open to plenty more on a synthetic surface with wins at Kempton at Chelmsford making it three from five on the AW. Won both times with plenty in hand and only 2lb higher. May be hard to hold out in hat-trick bid.

Chevallier¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 93| CD

4/1

All four AW wins have come over this C&D but remains 2lb higher than the last of them. Come off the back of two solid placed efforts and although others may be better handicapped, can be involved again.

Isomer^h1⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 88| BF| D

7/1

Sole AW win came at Chelmsford and makes course debut. Has an inconsistent profile and has a fair bit to find with Breden when a beaten favourite at Kempton. Stable also quiet at present.

Contrast¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Josh Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 88| C

20/1

Potentially well handicapped at 3lb lower than last winning mark when with Richard Hannon but form regressed for Jacqueline Coward. Market support would be interesting but best watched on stable debut.

My Target¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 87| CD

9/4

C&D specialist who won this race two years ago but losing run now stretches back to March 2017. Back to form second at Newcastle latest and better suited by this track but this is much stronger.

Form: 20885-2

Apex King¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76

13/2

Listed winner as a juvenile but hasn't won since. Not disgraced on last month's stable debut and has fallen to a fair mark but this is a sharp rise in class and looks a tough task. Non-runner here on Friday.

Forecasts

Breden (2/1), My Target (9/4), Chevallier (4/1), Apex King (13/2), Isomer (7/1), Mickey (7/1), Contrast (20/1)

My Target always has to be respected over this C&D and although this will prove tough to follow up on his previous success in this race, he does remain on a good mark. Chevallier also goes particularly well here and in his current form is likely to go close again but BREDEN looks ahead of the handicapper at present and despite his age is on an upward curve on AW surfaces.
